(in)Sanity Gal tagged me in a game of Truth or Dare over at Virgin in the Volcano, where everyone is bored of law school. I am tagging Legally Certifiable. Bring it on, Quirky Girl! When she sends me my Truth challenge, I’ll post it and the answer here.
Okay, (in)Sanity Gal says “if you could do something truly despicable (like truly, truly) with full confidence that no one would ever find out, what would it be?”
My answer: right now, truthfully, I would take a few weeks to run away and spend some selfish time alone, with only myself, doing what I want to do. The despicable part of it would be abandoning my responsibilities, especially my son, family, school, etc., which is something I obviously just can’t do. But many parts of me are a bit resentful of all of the things I “have to” do right now. Yes, I made my choices, including marrying at 21, having my beautiful child and living with a controlling, jealous, paranoid man for 8 years, allowing him to speak to me and, at times, to our child in very unacceptable ways. But, on the cusp of 30, looking back at those choices, some of me wishes I had a different life now. And another part of me thinks that wanting to abandon my life, which is filled with the blessings of a most precious child, a great job, a supportive family, etc., even for just a short time, is pretty despicable. That said, if no one would know and I could do it without censure, I’d be out of here in a heartbeat right now.
Dude, way to ask a bummer of a truth question!
